My ex was supposed to carry me on his health insurance until our divorce was final. Not being the bright man that he tends NOT to be, he lost his job. Now I am without health insurance. My kids are covered through Medicaid for right now. Does anyone know of any assistance programs or cheap health care? I have kidney stones and need a surgery. I've checked with the health dept. and the free health clinic in my area and all of them have pretty much told me to go take a leap. I was just wondering if any of you have been in this situation and what did you do about it?

Thanks bunches!
